Transfigurations: Art, Consciousness, and Spirituality

In early May of 2011, Alex and Allyson Grey stopped by Ken's loft for an afternoon of catch-up and conversation. Alex and Allyson happened to be in Denver for the weekend, supporting their Unified Field event—a celebration of art, music, and spirituality that featured lectures and live painting by Alex. The two-day sold-out event was a phenomenal success by all accounts, and they were both still riding high when they arrived at Ken's that Sunday afternoon.

A few of us were invited to Ken's loft that afternoon, and I was extremely excited to drive from Boulder and hang out with Ken, Alex, and Allyson. Although we did not plan to record the afternoon, I fortunately had brought my iPad with me and was able to capture a couple hours of video. And I am so glad that I did, as the conversation soon grew into a blistering exchange of thoughts, theories, and visions, all occurring within the sacred container of a mutually enriching, decades-old friendship.

Being invited to this meeting was tremendously meaningful for me personally, and I am even more delighted that I now get to share my seat with you. The video you are about to watch is about as gritty and spontaneous as anything we've ever recorded, and offers you all a chance to sit in with some of the most important creative minds of our time.

Alex Grey will be a featured headliner at this year's Integral Spiritual Experience Year 3 | Awaken the Fire: Harnessing the Power of Your Evolutionary Creativity on December 28th, 2011 - January 1st, 2012, at Asilomar Retreat Center in Pacific Grove, California. Featuring some of the world's most leading-edge spiritual teachers, artists, activists, and visionaries, we will be joined by the integral evolutionary community from over 30 countries world-wide. And we want you to be a part of this extraordinary experience!

The problem is that direct experience of the divine be interpreted at all. Pure perception is universal, interpretation sets heaven and earth infinitely apart.

Ah, it gets better towards the second half. Great!

A conversation would be more interesting than a lecture. In my opinion.
